Flat rollers also mean there are no limitations on using lagging or knurling to increasing traction between belt and roller drives. But V-guide belts are not completely flat. The heat used to bond ...

V-belts make use of a wedging action between belt and sheave, thereby developing high driving forces with considerably less belt tension than required by flat belts. This feature reduces loads on ...

Belts should be stored on a flat surface where possible. Hanging belts on hooks can cause belt crimping and lead to reduced belt life, especially with larger and heavier belts. Most of today’s belt ...
